Facebook and Instagram are the two most popular social media platforms around the world. They have been closely integrated since Facebook acquired Instagram. Connecting your Instagram and Facebook accounts gives you the convenience of posting on both of these platforms simultaneously. However, if you want to keep your social profiles separate or limit your social media activity, you can unlink Facebook and Instagram.

Unlinking Facebook and Instagram is pretty much easy. You just have to visit the Accounts Centre and remove the desired account from there.

What happens when I unlink Facebook and Instagram?

Unlinking Facebook and Instagram disconnects both of these social accounts, so that they won’t be associated anymore. Once you’ve unlinked Facebook and Instagram, you will not be able to publish your Instagram posts directly to Facebook. Also Instagram won’t notify your Facebook friends that you’re on Instagram, so you may not be able to gain followers.
